The term ASO means Application Store Optimization. Every smartphone or Android-enabled device uses apps that cater to every need of the user. Now when you open an app store, you are flooded with millions of apps, some extremely high rated, some moderately rated and others with no rating at all. However, every user is hungry for an app to meet his desperate need. Now considering the bigger picture, when he opens an app store be it the Apple’s app store or the Android’s, he might need help with regard to finding the perfect app. Boom! And the term “ASO” a.k.a App Store Optimization was coined to enable users to select from only those categories that have a higher ranking than the others.

Yea ... a complete definition of ASO ..

The arena of app stores is much like the way organic search results used to be. Knowledge on app store optimization (ASO) can still provide a big advantage over your competitors and it can be a very lucrative way to exploit your old fashioned SEO skills. Algorithms aren’t as advanced yet and the competition is still discovering ways to game them.

App Store Optimization (ASO) is the process of moving your mobile app up in the Top Apps rankings and search results rankings within an app store (iTunes App Store, Android Market, etc). It's like SEO for mobile apps.

App Store Optimization is like SEO - but for apps. ASO helps your app get to the top of search inside the App Store for important keywords. The process of ASO involves optimizing your app keywords, title, description and most importantly user feedback (reviews and ratings) for specific keywords that can drive downloads for your app.

App store optimization is the process of improving the visibility of a mobile app. ASO is the process of optimizing mobile apps to rank higher in an app store&#8217;s search results. The higher your app ranks in an app store&#8217;s search results, the more visible it is to potential customers. That increased visibility tends to translate into more traffic to your app&#8217;s page in the app store.

The goal of App Store Optimization is to drive more traffic to your app&#8217;s page in the app store, so searchers can take a specific action: downloading your app.

ASO i now a well known technology. Can we optimize it like a website optimization on Search Engines? Is it a kind of SEO or has different strategies?
